WES45 - 3/16 Inch Brass Hose Mender with Round Stop

Reliable Industrial Hose Repair and Extension

The Western Enterprises WES45 Brass Hose Splicer is an essential component for maintenance teams and industrial facility managers looking to maintain the integrity of their pneumatic and fluid transfer systems. Designed with precision and durability in mind, this splicer allows for the seamless connection of two 3/16-inch inner diameter (ID) hoses. Whether you are repairing a damaged section of a line or extending a hose to reach a new workstation, the WES45 provides a leak-free solution that you can trust in demanding environments.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear compared to plastic or aluminum alternatives. Brass is the material of choice for many industrial applications due to its strength and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations without becoming brittle. The unit is rated for pressures up to 200 PSIG, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including compressed air lines, inert gas delivery, and water systems within laboratory or manufacturing settings. The robust nature of the material ensures that the barb edges remain sharp and defined, gripping the hose interior effectively to prevent blow-offs under pressure.

One of the standout features of this specific model is the integrated round stop located at the center of the splicer. This stop serves a critical function during installation: it acts as a physical barrier that prevents the splicer from being pushed too far into one side of the hose. This ensures that the fitting is perfectly centered, with equal barb length available on both sides for clamping. This design detail simplifies the assembly process and guarantees a balanced, secure connection. Installers can use standard crimp ferrules or worm-gear hose clamps to secure the hose over the barbs, providing flexibility based on the tools and supplies available on site.

Manufactured in the United States, the Western Enterprises WES45 adheres to strict quality control standards. It is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industrial, welding, and laboratory sectors. When safety and reliability are paramount, choosing a high-grade brass splicer over a temporary fix ensures operational continuity and safety for personnel. This product is an indispensable part of any MRO inventory, ensuring that hose failures can be addressed immediately with a professional-grade repair.
